<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17247/20110303/slu-hosts-screening-of-quot-mrs-goldberg-quot-documentary</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 3, 2011) She won the first &quot;Best Actress&quot; Emmy Award, garnered a Tony Award and was a broadcasting pioneer.  Gertrude Berg is credited with inventing the first television sitcom in 1949.  She was principal writer and star of &quot;The Goldbergs&quot;, a popular radio and TV show in the 1940&apos;s and 50&apos;s.  Todd Moe talks with filmmaker Aviva Kempner, whose work investigates non-stereotypical images of Jews in history and celebrates the under known stories of Jewish heroes. Kempner says Berg was the Oprah of her day, but many of her contributions to show business have been forgotten.  Aviva Kempner will host a screening of the documentary film &quot;Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg,&quot; at St. Lawrence University tonight at 7 p.m. in Room 218 of Hepburn Hall. Free admission.
